Battlefield V Won’t Include Microtransactions at Launch

Battlefield V won’t include microtransactions at launch, EA DICE has announced. Microtransactions will be added post-launch using a paid in-game currency called Battlefield Currency, but DICE promises they will only be used for cosmetic items.

“We want players to get hands-on experience with their Company

, the progression system, and earning Company Coin before introducing premium currency,” DICE said. “Balanced rock-paper-scissors gameplay has always been the foundation of the Battlefield series, and our belief is that real-world money should not enable pay-to-win or pay-for-power.”

No Man’s Sky “The Abyss” Update Explores The Ocean Depths

No Man’s Sky has launched a free update that explores a slightly different kind of black void. The Abyss is available now, and adds more detail to underwater environments and some heavily reworked gameplay elements for exploring the briny depths of a planet.

A post on the PlayStation Blog detailed the update, titled The Abyss. It introduces five times more variety for aquatic environments and more variety of creature behaviors. Underwater creatures appear more frequently, and more unique and scary underwater creatures have been added. You can also explore sunken wrecks to scavenge their cargo, customize a new submarine called the Nautilon, and build an underwater base of operations with more than a dozen new base parts

For a more narrative experience, you can play a new story scenario called The Dreams of the Deep. In it, you’ll uncover the mysteries of a stranded crew or someone lost in the depths of the ocean.

This is part of the continuing ongoing content following No Man’s Sky Next, the big title update that served as a sort of second launch for the once-beleaguered game. That update itself added all sorts of new space oddities and quality-of-life improvements. The 1.58 update also added weekly content updates for long-term play.

The Abyss update specifically mentions that this is part of Hello Games’ plan for ongoing large title updates to complement the ongoing smaller-scale reworks. This one is focused on the oceans of waterlogged planets, but it seems the studio has more large updates in the works as well.

How Thanos’ Snap Victims Could Return in Avengers 4

Avengers: Infinity War ends with Thanos snapping away half the universe and killing numerous heroes. But are they really dead? That seems to be the big question fans are debating as we wait the torturous months until the release of Avengers 4.

If you’re anything like me, then you’re confident there’s no way all those characters are permanently dead. I mean, Spider-Man and Black Panther have new movies coming out. It’s pretty much a given in the MCU fandom that the victims of the Snappening are going to come back in Avengers 4. The question is how? (Assuming the Avengers don’t just fix the Infinity Gauntlet and snap everyone back to life because that would not be satisfying.)

Switch Sales Pass 22 Million, Zelda: Breath of the Wild Hits 10 Million Copies Sold

The Nintendo Switch continues to be a sales success, with Nintendo’s latest financial report placing the console at nearly 23 million units sold since its launch last year.

In a new earnings report, Nintendo revealed that over the last six months the Switch has managed to sell more than 5 million units, with a slight increase in sales compared to this time last year.

The new numbers now mean the Switch has almost doubled sales of the Wii U, and has overtaken GameCube’s total figure.

During this time, Mario Tennis Aces managed to sell more than 2 million copies, while Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze sold more than 1.5 million.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Sells Through $725 Million In Its First Weekend

Red Dead Redemption 2 had the largest opening weekend for any entertainment product in history, managing to sell through $725 million in copies over just three days.

It’s actually the second-highest grossing entertainment launch, although Rockstar won’t be too unhappy with that, given that the record-holder is Grand Theft Auto V.

The discrepancy between biggest opening weekend and biggest overall launch comes down to the fact that the last GTA was released on a Tuesday.
